NBA Rumors: With the 2018 NBA Free Agency quickly approaching, here are the ideal landing spots for some of the premier restricted free agents

The regular season, postseason, draft, and awards show are all in the rearview; the focus now shifts towards NBA Free Agency – and the storylines are aplenty.

What will LeBron James do with his free agency? Will Paul George team up with James, or stay with the Oklahoma City Thunder? Will the San Antonio Spurs trade Kawhi Leonard – potentially changing others’ free agency plans? Will Chris Paul decide to call it quits with the Houston Rockets after one season? Will the Rockets, as a whole, endure a roster overhaul?

Will DeAndre Jordan finally move on from the Los Angeles Clippers? Will a team roll the dice on Isaiah Thomas bouncing back from a disastrous 2017-18 season? Will DeMarcus Cousins be healthy enough to start the 2018-19 season?

There are many enticing storylines to keep tabs on over the next two weeks concerning teams and free agents. At the same time, it will be important to not ignore the restricted free agent market – which projects to feature a number of under-the-radar, rising stars.

Much like the top-tier unrestricted free agents, many of these youngsters are poised to cash in on massive paychecks. Here are the ideal landing spots for those premier restricted free agents.
